The Tire Block

[DeltaRomeo]

A staple at Monk’s shop at 52F. Many of them. About 5” thick with an axle sized hole in the center. Planes get put up on these and the jack moved to the next thing while various landing gear items get loved up. Been kicking these around Monk’s hangar for 20 years.

They’re covered with shop fluids and will probably outlast the sun....or at least become petrified.

Flyboys axel stand seems a bit more convenient. Very stable even with two on this RV 10 while changing tires

A couple 6x6s with a slot for the axle to sit in are coming up on 20 years use. Oil preserved and great bookends as other uses.
Required mtc item.

I love those bocks! They look Ike something I would have inherited from my grandfather's dirt-floor garage/workshop…. I gotta go find an old oily railroad tie and make me some….

And they would smell great as an added bonus. Ah, creosote!
